v Alfurther object of the invention is the provision of` `a'device which, although secured to a cravat, neverthelesspermits all desirable movement thereof with thenormal movements ofthe body while restraining the cravat from objectionable l movements.

l5 These objects are achieved by my invention, of nwhichseveral embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a front view of one embodiment of my invention, the underlying portions `being shown in broken lines.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line 3-3 of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a front View of a further embodiment of my invention, the underlying portions being shown in broken lines.

Fig. 5 is a vertical section online 5-5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a cross-section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a front view of a further embodiment of my invention, the underlying portions being shown in broken lines.

Similar reference numerals are used to identify similar parts throughout the several figures and `in the sectional gures the cravat andgarment are shown spaced apart for clearness.

In carrying out my invention, I provide, as shown in Figures 1 3 inclusive, a clasp A which engages the vertical hem D on the shirt front, a scarf pin B which is insertedv in the cravat E in A the conventional manner and a flexible member C, suitably attached to both the `clasp and the` scarf pin and adapted to pass around the cravat whereby to hold said cravat in its desiredposition.

curely hold the clasp on the shirt hem.

l l l The scarf pin B is of a conventional type and 55` comprises a head 6, which may suitably carryk a cravat.

precious stone or'Y other ornamentation, and a pin 'l soldered or otherwise permanently secured at its upper end to the head 6. The pin 'l is bent at ton permit the head to lie neatly against the The iiexible` member C is Vshown as a doubled K chain, connected to the claspA at the eyelet 9 and to the scarf pin B at the eyelet I l).` As thus connected a cravat maypass 4through the chain between the clasp and the scarf pin. L f

The device is very easily attached;` After the cravat has been properly tied the `ends `thereof are passedthrough the chain, with thefpinat the front of the cravat. 'Ihe pin is then inserted in thecravat at the desired pointandtheclasp, which VislunderI the cravat, isthen fastened to the hem of the shirt front, preferably atsuch a height that the chain will suspend to some extent from both the scarf pin and the clasp.

In the embodiment of my invention illustrated in Figures 4 6, inclusive, I provide a scarf pin B" comprising a substantially horizontal bar B' as a head and a vertical pin 'l' permanently secured thereto, the horizontal bar being slightly longer than the width of the cravat. 'Ihe flexible mem- V ber C is shown as a chain, an intermediate point of which is connected to a clasp or clamp A' at eyelet 9 and the ends of which are connected to the ends of the horizontal bar 6 at eyelets I0'. The clamp A' is a loop of suitable resilient wire material, or the like, bent back upon itself to form two gripping members Il and Il adapted to hold the hem of the shirt front between them. In this embodiment Vpin 1' in addition to being a factor of safety, serves to hold the bar 6' in the horizontal position or at a desired angle. This embodiment is attached in the same manner as the embodiment of Figures 1 3, inclusive.

It will be apparent that in the invention disclosed the scarf pin and the clasp or clamp coact with the flexible member as safety devices for each other, thus minimizing the possibility of accidental loss or of theft; also that the chain, neatly draped from the head of the scarf pin, af-f, fords a measure of ornamentation for the cravat.

The embodiment of my invention illustrated in Figure 7 isa structure structure similar to the embodiment of Figures 4-6, inclusive, from which,

however, theV pin 1 is omitted. It will be seen that this resulting device would suspend from the clamp A with the bar 6" overlying the cravat E and the flexible member C" substantially underlying the cravat and connecting `the ends of the bar'to the clamp. This embodiment is adapted to be used as a cravat holder alone and would serve such purpose effective- 1y and present a neat appearance. f
